IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

An image forming apparatus that is capable of executing image forming operation includes an image bearing member; a developer carrying member that faces the image bearing member in a state of keeping a predetermined gap therefrom, and develops a latent image on the image bearing member using developer; a frame that supports the developer carrying member; applying units that applies developing voltage, in which DC voltage and AC voltage are superimposed, to the developer carrying member; a conductive member that is disposed in the frame; a detecting unit that detects AC current induced in the conductive member by applying the developing voltage to the developer carrying member; and a control portion that controls the applying units. The control portion controls the developing voltage in the image forming operation, based on the AC current which the detecting unit detects in a case where the voltage is applied by the applying units.
